We have a new discovery. The locals here make a sweet bread they call Finnish Biscuit (Pulla). It has a little cardamom which makes it just sweet enough. We experimented (read - Kathy’s idea) this morning, making French Toast. Add a little sweetened whipped cream and some of the aforementioned fresh blueberries. Yummy! We’re sure it will be a favorite breakfast for our guests! Also, saw a young doe saunter through the yard this afternoon, not sure how they know when the dogs are inside so that it is safe. Come early evening, they like to wander through the field, just close enough to tease our  dogs (Stella, Brownie and Piper – more later about these three rascals). The dogs go nuts and the deer just stand and stare towards the house. One can only imagine what they are saying in deer speak!
